The perfect accessory

Accessories can make or break a wedding outfit. Whether it's a great necklace, hair piece or earrings, it's important to get them balanced just right with your dress, hair, veil and overall look. I tend to think that a large statement necklace dictates small stud type earrings and minimal hair accessories, whereas with big, blingy earrings I would skip a necklace altogether. 

This also goes for bridesmaid accessories - although I would tend to pick out slightly subtler pieces for them. 

These are some of my favourite pieces I have come across on Etsy. 

This is a really sweet headband if you are going for an ethereal, garden party type of wedding. 

This would be a lovely 'something blue' if you don't mind wearing a bright colour so obviously. Otherwise, perfect for bridesmaids. 

Another gorgeous bridesmaid necklace. The colours would allow it to work with a variety of dresses. 

This necklace would be amazing with a slinky, silky number. Remember, during the ceremony the guests mostly see your back. Make it interesting! 

A gorgeous cocktail ring makes a great accessory for bridesmaids in lieu of the standard bracelet, and it's something they can definately wear again! 

These resin and gold bangles would be perfect for a less formal bride.

These are gorgeous statement earrings and champagne works with any colour, so these could be for bride or bridesmaids. 

These slightly retro looking earrings would brighten up black bridesmaid dresses a treat. 

These stunning cushion cut studs would be beautiful on their own or with a necklace. 

And my absolute favourite bridal jewellery, from The Crystal Rose... I would be teaming this with a dress that had little or no bling on it, but a big silhouette. Gorgeous!
